Anemone hupehensis hybrida 'Horine Jobert' Japanese anemone. Penstomen cultivar 'Andenken an Friederich Hahn' Penstomen. Fuchsia magellanica 'Riccartonii' Fuchsia.
Well after many hours of planning and painting assignment 12 is finished :) The colours are a little saturated in this picture and the highlights are too harsh! I continue to struggle with getting a good quality photograph with the true real life colours! I shall continue to experiment with my camera :)
I spent many hours choosing my chosen flowers; white anemone, penstomen and fuchsia. This is the first time i have attempted a mixed flower study! The hardest bit was designing a well balanced composition! Then i layed the first washes on my anemone....
Then in went the stems for the anemone...Still so much to do after so many hours of work!
So many leaves to paint...Leaves are not my best subject; yet i keep punishing myself and set the task of painting so many leaves!
More washes applied and the fuchsia stem is painted along with the penstomen stem...Still need to do more washes and dry brushing! I did more work today and the fuchsia flowers are coming along nicely!
I like how each chioce of flower shows some pink and this i hope is going to tie my composition together...Well at least i hope it is; thats all for now!

Hi Jess :) What does HRH mean?I must say i do enjoy painting white flowers!! I still have so much to do...YIKES!!! My tutor is Jenny Jowett....*HELP!!!* xox

Great to see it finished! Lovely Julie. If you ever need an image correcting I have photoshop at work. Just email it over and I can see if I can get it right for you. I think it looks pretty bang on though. Fab stuff. When you starting your diploma?
Well done on finishing such a complex assignment. Lovely painting.
A lovely well balanced composition Julie, and one I would happily hang on my wall! I can appreciate the hours of work, especially, as you say, the time it takes just to plan get that initial drawing on the page - well done you!
Thank You Jess :)I have photoshop elements 9 and was trying to work out how to clear the background(Make it white or any other blank colour) Tried to follow videos and i just can't do it!!! Any easy step by step tips?I'm actually working on my diploma work now :)I thought i might do a pineapple for my fruit/veg study. Have you started planning? Thank you Vicki; such a nice feeling when you finish an assignment!Jac i don't recognize your user name! Who are you and thank you for your lovely comments :) xox
I'm on the DLDC too but have had to take a break until next year. Gorgeous mixed study Julie, the detail is stunning and you have managed the white-on-white issue too. I agree with Jess, I am impressed! With the cookies, I think you may have to clear your own computer drive of those (I had to do that last week).
Thank you sketchbook squirrel :) I have sorted the cookie issue and i can now post comments! Thank you for your comments about my artwork...I really enjoy doing white flowers! Hope you manage to complete the course next year. x
